Apart from the rimshot ( and the triangle) I dislike those staccato piano and guitar chords playing all the time....like intermittently...'chang-a chang-a chang-a'...what the hell is that about?And that organ underneath shuffling chords rhythmically...is rubbish too. The picking guitar is boring too...why is the guitarist following the bass? Unnecessary.I also dislike effects: why putting over the top reverbs and delays to create an atmosphere...I don't get it. I hate reggae basslines too: some guy playing a few notes, then leaving some space and finishing the bassline. I don't get it, they repeat that all the time like a loop, why?...and is so loud on the mix too.

Apart from these annoying things, I like everything else about Reggae.

What we call head top dub. I love this, the original drum and bass, clean your ears out!

I don't like the rhythm guitar, you know the "chengy, chengy" sound on the offbeat.I also don't like vocals, horns, keyboards or any form of drumming, including bongos.I especially hate the bass line which is so repetitive.
